Charleston, South Carolina, Family Vacation
Know Before You Go
Printer-Friendly Version- At a Glance
Charleston boasts a fascinating history and undeniable Southern charm. It's the heart of the South Carolina lowcountry (the flat area bordering the Atlantic Ocean) and is rich with tradition. Many of the most popular activities, like the carriage ride, Charleston City Market, and Patriots Point, make history come to life for kids. The Waterfront Park along the harbor is a family-friendly place to relax and watch boats come and go. For a welcoming, gentle look at Southern culture, Charleston can't be beat.
